This module on guidelines for teachers of adults is the first of 11 modules in the set, Introduction to Teaching Adults. Designed to meet the learning needs of part-time continuing education instructors, these modules can be used as resource materials for local workshops or study-discussion groups, as self-instruction (each module takes approximately two hours), and as a correspondence course. (Source information on correspondence study is cited in module 1.) All modules except the first are designed to be used in part in conjunction with an audiotape. This module is intended to provide a quick overview of the series. It first compares an adult education program with the human life cycle, since similarities provide a way of organizing the concerns of the beginning adult educator into three phases of an adult education program. These three phases serve as the topics for the next three chapters. The chapters treat the preparation, meeting, and ending phases. (YLB)
